Non-usable "Show changed files" in WebSVN 2.0

Hey guys

After upgrading to WebSVN 2.0, the function "Show
changed files" has 
become useless, at least when using the "Calm"
template.

Due to the structuring of the page, approx. 1/3 of the
browser window's 
width is occupied by revision details on the left, including
log message 
and a list of changed files (after clicking "Show
changed files"), but 
that small width is not nearly enough to the complete path
of many 
files. In my case (using 1280x1024), there's only room for
the branch 
name and two directory names, but my files are often located
in a folder 
of level 10-15 (Java package names can be long), so I need
at least the 
full screen width to show the complete path.

Does anyone have suggestions to resolving this?

Best wishes,
Jan Nielsen

I'll get my hands on this on the weekend. I'm sure one could
easily drop columns in dependency of their width. Some
unobstrusive js could help here. That wasn't a big problem,
but i'm not quite sure how to arrange elements on the site
then. (changes on top or directory?).

I could "trial & error" or you (& others)
give more precise description of what could be better...

Since both the left and right parts of the page (left:
revision details, 
right: log entries) may be arbitrarily large in height,
there is 
probably only the option of showing the list of changed
files either 
before both parts of after both parts. Showing it afterwards
will 
probably not be wise unless the page automatically jumps to
the list 
after loading the page, because when one clicks on the link
to see 
changed files, one expects to see the list at once when the
resulting 
page is loaded.

Best wishes,
Jan

An other way to solve this problem could be to add a new
page, which 
displays only the changes for one revision. This page could
also be 
linked with the rss-feed, and thus be visible directly in
the rss-reader.

The left of the page could contain the author, commit
message and so on, 
the right could list all modifications, eventually with
direct links to 
"compare with previous" or "blame"
links. In my opinion, the directory 
structure is not so important on this page but i.e. can
always be 
reached by clicking on the repository name or an other
link.
What do you think?

Best regards,
Sebastian

Yes, that is a great idea. I was only thinking of keeping it
on the 
existing page which is almost impossible.
